Define your genre in five words or less:

Smooth, funk/soul R&B vibes.

What do you love about making music?
The feeling of working with people who are as passionate as you about music, no-one wants to let anyone down and it creates the greatest atmosphere.

Why should everyone come and see your band?
The energy we put into our music transmits into the audience making sure everyone has a great time. We also love hanging out after shows talking to the audience and continuing the night on!

If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
We have all thought about this a lot and have decided we have to bands at the top of our lists. Electric Empire would be amazing, those musicians are similar to what we wish to be in ourselves. Although we also want to tour with Allen Stone, he actually happens to be touring next year, Allen if you ever read this, hint hint!

How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
We generally always put music first! Many shifts at jobs over the year have been lost from having to play gigs, the only time music ever really gets put aside is at rehearsals, got to have a cup of tea before we start!

What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We have released a five-track EP called Show Me How on sale for $5 at our shows, this includes four studio tracks and one live track, and there is also a guest appearance from Eagle and The Worm horn section on the first track!

When’s the gig and with who?
So this December we have a three-week residency at The Evelyn in Fitzroy. Joining us these nights are still waiting to be completely announced but some band include, Papa G and the Starcats, Sons of Solace, Brooklyns Finest, plus way more tasty acts for your enjoyment.
